JOSE (Javascript Object Signing and Encryption) is a framework intended to provide a method to securely transfer claims (such as authorization information) between parties
The JOSE framework provides a collection of specifications to serve this purpose. A JSON Web Token (JWT) contains claims that can be used to allow a system to apply access control to resources it owns.
One potential use case of the JWT is as the means of authentication and authorization for a system that exposes resources through an OAuth 2.0 model.
